Take This Quiz to Find Out What Sheets to Buy

Falling asleep — and staying asleep — is hard enough as it is. And when you add not-so-great bedding to the mix, that makes getting your full eight hours even more difficult. Enter the ultimate guide to sheets.

Whether you're a hot sleeper prone to night sweats (no shame) or a sensitive soul looking for the softest fabric around, there's a best set for you. Small differences like percale or sateen weave, 100% cotton or blended fabric, and of course price,can all affect when you should click "add to cart."

Best value: The super-soft microfiber Mellanni Bed Sheet Set is only $25 and has more than 32,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. It also shrank minimally in the wash and wrinkled less than most cotton sheets in our test.

Super soft: The A blend of cotton and Outlast viscose fabric goes into the Slumber Cloud Stratus Sheet Set. The sateen weave also makes it feel even more silky-smooth.

Bonus: You can buy it with or without a flat sheet.

The Brooklinen Luxe Core Sheet Set won our most recent sheets test at the Good Housekeeping Institute Textile Lab. The cotton sateen fabric withstood washing and won points for its smoothness. The fitted sheet even has hidden tabs labeled "long side" and "short side" to make bed-making a snap.

We're not the only fans. At one point earlier this year, the brand had a 5,000-person waitlist! Luckily they're back in stock now in tons of colors and patterns. Bonus: There's a 60-day, any-reason return policy if you don't totally fall in love.
